It was a chance meeting with an old friend from that very production many years later that caused Greg to reassess his goals, hand over his business and set out in his 40s to become a professional actor.He has since appeared with Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton as Good 'Lias Hatfield in the hit US series "Hatfields & McCoys' which won 5 Emmys.
